Tater Patch

Boise, ID

Tater Patch delivers a unique sound combining the melodic drive of old time music paired with the harmony vocal traditions of bluegrass. Plus hot licks and high kicks.

Tater Patch was formed in 2018 from the inspiration of fiddler/singer/songwriter Adam Straubinger. Justin Moore is Adam’s accomplice in singing and fiddling, and the two can harmonize like the Stanley Brothers, Delmore Brothers, Louvin Brothers, or any other brothers you can think of. It’s hard to not feel their twin fiddling energy in your bones. “Shaky” Dave Manion on dobro/acoustic guitar delivers licks so lonesome and beautiful it could make you cry. He’s been known to let his commanding baritone voice out occasionally as well. Holding down the 5 string banjo (or maybe it’s holding him down cause he’s so happy when he’s picking you think he might float away) is Tate Mason, who is equally comfortable playing 3 finger or clawhammer style. Either way he spices up the sound with his tasty banjo pickin. Rounding out the sound and keeping them in time is Beth Mason on the upright bass. She takes an occasional turn singing lead on some songs and harmonizing on others. All told, this is a fun and energetic ensemble sharing their version of old time, bluegrass, traditional and original music. You don’t want to miss their energetic and raucous performance!
